Help! Constipated puppy...I think My Beauty has poop hanging out of her bottom.:eek: I thought that it was just maybe some stuck to her hair but once I cleaned her up I realized that it is actually hanging out of her bottom.:confused: She is only 8 weeks old and is whimpering and I think that it is bothering her alot. She has been scooting her bottom across floor. Can someone please tell me what to do. do I need to take her to the vet or is there something I can do at home to help her get it out. Thanks Tameika and Beauty:aimeeyork |
You can give her pumpkin. It helps constipation. Sometimes if you wipe their bottom with a warm rag it will help the rest to come out. Good Luck ! |
Ok thanks. I just looked at her again. Her rectum is really red and it seems to be hanging out a little. What about eating. She loves to eat. Should I stop her from eating the Chicken Soup for a couple days and try a soft dog food on her. I just feel so helpless right now because she is so tiny. Thanks Tameika and Beauty |
Ok it came out with the warm rag, but it looks kinda red down there. Is that normal after an episode like this one. I gave her a bath and cleaned her up down there really good. She seems to be doing better now. I will just watch her and see what happens when its time to poop again! Thanks a bunch Tameika and Beauty |
You could try a tiny bit of vaseline on her sore butt. |
Glad to hear she is doing better. Try giving her a little bit of pumpkin for a couple days to soften it up. |
poopy you need to check her stools for worms espically if she's so young and has an itchy butt on the ground ! poor lil doggie! most puppies get worms from thir mommys before born and should be wormed at 3 weeks i believe! but i would take the baby to the vet asap ! worms can be serious in small puppys/dogs! |

My yorkie had the same thing happen to her around 8-9 weeks too! She is now 2-1/2 years old, but I remember this since I was pretty worried too. I put her in the bathtub and with a warm rag cleaned her off - she was fine after that. |
Lola has had the same thing happen to her on a couple of occasions. We always helped her out. Gross I know. Anyway last time she had it we were on our way to the vet so I mentioned it to him. He recommended that she eat Lax'aire. We bought it at the vet for about 10 bucks and she eats a little of it everyday. It is awesome because it does not cause her to have loose stools, but it makes it easier for her to poop. Since she has so much protein in her diet, this stuff works great. Ask your vet about it. Hope I helped a little.:) |
Thanks everyone for your replies. I really appreciate them. YT is awesome! Well Beauty hasn't pooped anymore today, so I really won't know if she is better until she does. She has been playing and she hasn't scooted across the floor since. I don't know, maybe she was eating too much and not drinking enough because she is greedy. I asked the breeder and she said that she would drink when she's ready. I got her on Friday and Monday was the first time that she actually went to her water bowl without me helping her to drink. I just love her to pieces and she seems to be doing ok, I am just waiting for her to go potty again. Thanks tameika and Beauty |

My step dad breeds Pit bulls and he said that it was her way of getting it detached from her rectum. For those who are wandering, I live nowhere near him so Beauty is not in danger of being attacked by Pits:D But to be honest, I have owned a cocker spaniel, weimaraner (sp), and pits and my most loyal was the pit. Her name was Belle and she was the best dog ever. :animal36 Tameika and Beauty:aimeeyork |
